LMAO Lymetoo your exactly right

It was Quest labs haha, but does that look positive to you from a crappy labs point of veiw? lol

Im doing alright...i dont have pain today but now im having trouble with my picc line, seems like it might be infected. My mom is going to change the dressing, she called the doc and he said she could and if i have something going on in there, i gotta to go to hospital.

I have swelling and redness, chills and naseous but no fever...its just one thing after another ya think? im a lucky girl

How are you feeling now after your surgery, i hope your doing well...and how does it feel to be able to eat whatever you please? lol

Well waiting on moms arrival with the supplies.. oh yea..im getting my gallbladder taken out, first i have to see a GI doc and get a scope of my tummy and liver to make sure thats not the cause of my prolemo's then after that i get it taken out.

Phew..

I'm confused-did you just start IV rocephin 18 days ago-did your gallbladder get affected that quickly?

If your PICC line shows any signs of infection I think it would be prudent to have it checked at the hospital tonite.

Janet,

Yes within 16 days of treatment with IV rocefin i had gallbladder trouble...

I don't need to go to the hospital..they suck here anyway... i wouldnt want them coming within 100 feet of my picc line.. my doc ordered cipro for the infection and i will be starting it tomorrow.

My mom is a R.N. and she cleaned the insertion site properly with alcohol and its covered now and not hurting as bad as before...
so i think im okay for tonight thanks for the concern though

This seems to be positive, whatever it is??!

I'm NOT eating anything I want....yet! I'm supposed to ease into solid foods. Right now I'm eating bad things like pretzels and toast when i take my pain meds.

And sugar-free jello, which isn't good for me either! May eat some broiled fish tomorrow. I also have had some protein drinks.

When can I have Mexican food??
